Android Endless List

Question

How can I create a list where when you reach the end of the list I am notified so I can load more items?

May be a little late but the following solution happened very useful in my case. In a way all you need to do is add to your ListView a Footer and create for it addOnLayoutChangeListener.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ListView.html#addFooterView(android.view.View)

For example:

ListView listView1 = (ListView) v.findViewById(R.id.dialogsList); // Your listView
View loadMoreView = getActivity().getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.list_load_more, null); // Getting your layout of FooterView, which will always be at the bottom of your listview. E.g. you may place on it the ProgressBar or leave it empty-layout.
listView1.addFooterView(loadMoreView); // Adding your View to your listview 

...

loadMoreView.addOnLayoutChangeListener(new View.OnLayoutChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onLayoutChange(View v, int left, int top, int right, int bottom, int oldLeft, int oldTop, int oldRight, int oldBottom) {
         Log.d("Hey!", "Your list has reached bottom");
    }
});

This event fires once when a footer becomes visible and works like a charm.
